I have the Sidekick and love it . I replaced the standard breech plug with the .25 acp one. I have the blued model. I have had four muzzle loaders two blued , two stainless. The blued models were much more accurate than the stainless, don't know why.Also the Sidekick is USA made. The $150 sidekick I have embarrassed a stainless Omega the other day.
